CVE-2025-12696 describes an authorization bypass vulnerability within the HelloLeads CRM Form Shortcode WordPress plugin. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to modify the plugin's settings, potentially disrupting form functionality or introducing malicious configurations. The vulnerability affects versions 0.0 through 1.0 of the plugin, and a patch is expected to be released by the vendor.
The primary impact of CVE-2025-12696 is the ability for an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate the HelloLeads CRM Form Shortcode plugin's settings. This could involve disabling form submissions, altering redirection URLs, or modifying other critical configurations. Successful exploitation could lead to data loss, denial of service, or even the injection of malicious code through altered form processing. While the vulnerability requires direct access to the WordPress site, the lack of authentication makes it relatively easy to exploit, especially on sites with weak security practices or shared hosting environments.
CVE-2025-12696 was publicly disclosed on 2025-12-14. Currently, there are no publicly available proof-of-concept exploits. The EPSS score is pending evaluation. It is recommended to monitor security advisories and vulnerability databases for updates on exploitation activity.
Websites utilizing the HelloLeads CRM Form Shortcode plugin, particularly those with shared hosting environments or lacking robust access controls, are at increased risk. Sites with older, unpatched WordPress installations are also more vulnerable, as they may be more susceptible to other related vulnerabilities that could be chained with this authorization bypass.
